Summary of the contracting process

The Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust has completed a selective procurement process, inviting parties through a call-off from a framework agreement for the project titled "Clinicalkey - Library key 2025 - 2028". This initiative falls under the Software package and information systems category and is aimed at providing clinical library electronic access. The procurement, which covers a contract period from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2028, has recently advanced to the award stage on 1st September 2025. The contract, valued at £176,993.74, will be managed in Aylesbury, United Kingdom.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for large-scale businesses specialising in software and information systems to provide electronic access solutions to healthcare facilities. Although small and medium enterprises (SMEs) were not marked as suitable for this specific procurement, it sets a precedent for similar future projects where such skills are in demand. Successful collaboration could lead to growth opportunities through subsequent partnerships or engagements, particularly if businesses can establish themselves as reliable suppliers within NHS frameworks.
